Chapter 254: Whose Dream (5)
After the divorce, Qi Yan ruthlessly drove Zhao Yiqing out of the house, Zhao Yiqing originally wanted to leave Zhao Ziqi here temporarily, but Qi Yan refused, not that Qi Yan did not sympathize with the child, but that this child had a deep hurt to the original owner in his previous life, and Qi Yan could see that her character had been formed, and it would be difficult to change it even if she taught it well.

After Zhao Yiqing and Zhao Ziqi left, Qi Yan poured An Changjiu a cup of tea and asked him to sit in the house. However, Qi Yan still had to open a shop, so he didn't sit for long before leaving. Qi Yan opened the shop in front of him, and the business was not good during this time, and many things in the store could not be sold, so he was not in a hurry to put on new goods. The original family has real craftsmanship, but now many people want to catch up with fashion, so they don't like these wood carving things very much.
Qi Yan thought that it was indeed difficult for the shop to persist if it went on like this, she and Yuan Tong still had to live, in such a troubled world, it was naturally more reassuring to have money. So Qi Yan took out Zhao Yiqing's money and hired a few decoration workers, so that they could renovate the store according to Qi Yan's requirements. The original owner did not want to blindly worship foreign and pursue new fashion, and she, like the original father, still attached more importance to the old craftsmanship that had been passed down from ancient times to the present. However, after all, Qiyan is a person who has seen such a world, and feels that some new things need to be added on the basis of old craftsmanship, and the essence is still retained, but innovation is also very important.
At the same time of store decoration, Qi Yan also began to make some new things, with the memory of the original owner's previous life, Qi Yan knows what kind of things can attract people now, for example, most women at this time like some Western jewelry, but in fact, compared to it, the wooden hairpins brought by the housekeeper in ancient times are more durable, but the wooden hairpins in the past are a little cumbersome, and it is not very convenient to wear them and walk and do things, and now the clothes worn by people have been changed to simple styles, so naturally no one wears those hairpins. Qi Yan removed the complex place of the hairpin, only carved the pattern on the hairpin more carefully, and then matched it with a more distinctive jewelry, these jewelry is not very good, but because there are many Westerners in China now, there are many people who buy these jewelry, so Qi Yan easily found a store where the things to buy are cheap and good-looking.
In addition to these jewelry, Qi Yan focused on gifts, and now the relationship in this era is very important, so it is naturally indispensable to give gifts, but there is no special thing to give out, so Qi Yan simply put a little more effort and made some very good wood carving ornaments, such as wood carving sailboats, meaning smooth sailing, as well as wood carving evergreens, fortune trees and other things.
After being busy for a while, the shop was renovated, and a lot of new goods were rushed out, and when Qi Yan was about to reopen the shop, Zhao Yiqing and Yuan Qizhen came back. Perhaps because of Qi Yan and Zhao Yiqing's divorce, Yuan Qizhen did not leave the city this time like she did in her previous life, and it seems that she plans to continue to develop with Zhao Yiqing.
"What are you doing here?" Qi Yan opened the door and saw these two people, and he felt a sigh in his heart.
"This house also has half of mine, can't I bring my man and children back? If Dad knew that you wouldn't let me go home, he would probably be angry, right? "Yuan Qizhen has held a grudge since she was slapped by Qiyan last time, she can be said to be pampered since she was a child, although the family conditions are not good, but before the war was also considered a rich family, so the way of teaching her daughter continued, even the original Qiyan is more particular than the average woman, but in the end, the original Qiyan took on the burden of the family early, so the young lady's temper was almost polished, but the original Qizhen is different, she has not suffered at all since she was a child, and she also studied and went to school with those rich girls, Naturally, I can't stand being slapped.
"If Dad knew that your man was Zhao Yiqing, he would probably be so angry that he would die again." Qi Yan didn't stop them, but said: "You can live here, left and right separate, you live yours, we pass us, don't move around if you have nothing to do." ”
"I don't need to tell you this, I know it!"
"The house can be divided into half of you, but I have always taken care of the shop, and you haven't even carved a piece of wood, so the shop doesn't have your share." Qi Yan said.
"I'm not interested in that shabby shop, those old antiques are still left to you, an old feudal!" Yuan Qizhen said mockingly: "Don't worry, I won't want the money you make with that shop in the future!" ”
"That's not necessarily, I still have to set up a note to stand by, and the shop and the original time-honored brand left by my ancestors are also for my use." Qi Yan thinks that this matter is better to be careful, the shop is one of the wishes of the original owner, wood carving is also the original owner's favorite cause, and the inheritance of the shop is also the dream of the original owner, so Qi Yan will definitely spend more time on the shop in the future, according to the memory of the original owner's previous life, coupled with Qi Yan's well-informed and the original owner's solid craftsmanship, she believes that it is not difficult to make the shop up, and they will make up their minds when the time comes, so it is better to make it clear first.
"Okay, no problem, I'll ask Uncle Chen next door to come over and be a witness in the evening!" Yuan Qizhen entered the house angrily, and then said loudly to Zhao Yiqing: "Brother Qing, wait a while, you go and invite two people, send the set of Western furniture I fancied before, and then tidy up this house, what are these broken cabinets and tables, throw them over there, let's not take advantage of this!" ”
Qi Yan rolled her eyes, this sister really owed her the original owner, and it seemed reasonable that she had done something sorry for her sister. Qi Yan didn't want to make trouble with them, so he took Yuan Tong and went to the shop, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw An Changjiu standing outside the door, and Qi Yan beckoned him in.
"It's not ready yet, so let's find a random place to sit first!" Qi Yan said and took out an unfinished wood and began to carve it, the area of this shop is quite large, so Qi Yan directly separated a space with a screen on the side of the shop, specially used to carve things, of course, it is just a step of carving, there is a place to entertain guests on the side, but it is not completely done yet, for the time being, only a table and a few small stools, and there are wood chips that have not been cleaned underneath.
"What are you carving?" An Changjiu asked curiously.
"Carve a Bodhisattva, don't people nowadays believe in this, it can bless peace." Qi Yan replied without raising his head.
"Well, this is very good, you carve a few more for me, it just so happens that I have a few friends who can use it, and I will promote it for you when the time comes." An Changjiu still said expressionlessly.
"Several, my wood carving is not cheap, this wood alone has cost me all my money." Qi Yan knew that he wanted to help herself, but she didn't want him to pay out of his own pocket to help, "It's okay, I'm confident, with my craftsmanship, there will always be customers to buy, so you don't have to help me, if you really want to help me, help me ......" Qi Yan originally wanted to help publicize it, but thinking of An Chang's non-talkative temperament, he felt a little embarrassed, so he changed his words: "Forget it, you have already helped me a lot." ”
After listening to Qi Yan's words, An Changjiu immediately stood up, then put a stack of money on the table, and said, "This is a deposit, I want four first, and I'll get it after a while." And then he strode away.
Qi Yan knew that this person couldn't shout, so he had to give up, and saw that the money was still a lot, which was enough for the price of four wood carvings, and Qi Yan found that there was a small jar on the side of the money, Qi Yan looked at it, and it said hand balm, which was still a very famous brand in the city. Qi Yan sighed, she was busy carving during this time, and she didn't have time to prepare medicine and gauntlets by herself, but she didn't expect An Changjiu to notice the scarred hands of the original owner.
After a while, Qi Yan felt that it was almost, and it was officially opened, and now it is popular in the city to set up a platform to invite people to sing, and Qi Yan was also invited to sing at the door of the store for a day, so that Qi Yan did not expect that the girl who came to sing the song turned out to be the aunt called Magpie that Zhao Yiqing married later in the previous life, and it is estimated that she guessed to dance in the dance hall later.
Because it was at the door of the store, Yuan Qizhen and Zhao Yiqing also came out to see it, and Zhao Yiqing is now also a person with status, so the two of them still have smiling faces when facing guests. It's just that Yuan Qizhen saw that everyone praised Qiyan, and some people who didn't know the inside story still regarded Qiyan and Zhao Yiqing as a pair, and after knowing the matter, they pointed at her again, which made her a little unhappy, and saw Qiyan smiling in the crowd, and she was not happy, so she went out shopping with a straight face.
Zhao Yiqing didn't leave, he also moved a stool and sat under the stage and listened carefully, his eyes lit up when he saw the magpie appear, in all fairness, the original sisters are not bad, but Yuan Qiyan is too dignified, and Zhao Yiqing has been married to him for many years, and has long lost his freshness, and Yuan Qizhen's appearance is not as good as Yuan Qiyan, but because he has gone to school, he has gone abroad, he has seen a lot, he is fashionable, and his personality is also a little spicy, so Zhao Yiqing feels very interesting, but sometimes she will have a headache. The magpie is just the opposite, at first glance she is a lively but sensible little girl, beautiful and cute, which makes Zhao Yiqing like it at first sight.
However, Zhao Yiqing didn't have any other ideas for the time being, but he was a self-proclaimed literati, so he bought candy and bribed a child to help send two love poems to tease other little girls.
When the shop first opened, there were still more people and fewer people to buy, but fortunately, An Changjiu really brought a few people over as promised, those people were wearing suits, and they looked like they should not be short of money. However, although Yuan Qiyan has good skills, she is still not very tactful because of her personality, and she is not very willing to make fun of customers and the like when doing business, so Qiyan did not go against her heart, but calmly introduced her work, and stopped talking much.
An Changjiu wore civilian clothes today and stayed in the store for most of the day. It looks like a door god, but it has a full view of Qiyan's performance.
